“Wood invites tactile interaction and generally draws the observer to initiate direct contact with the sculpture. If I can make that connection happen …. happy days.”

Charles was born into an artistic family, his father, a highly commissioned portrait painter, was his principle influence. Charles studied Art at high school and later Surveying & Cartography, a field he subsequently took up a professional career in, which he practised internationally.
